I have two Vizio panels, a 2017 and a 2023. Neither are connected to my network. The 2017 got a couple of firmware updates via wired connection in the first year but I nixed that after an update nearly bricked it. The 2023 will turn itself back on for a few seconds occasionally (just the electronics, not the panel)… possibly looking for an open network but I have no way to verify. Neither complain about a lack of connection unless I accidentally select their streaming input.

ETA: Replace “work” in that quote with practically any other activity/subject, whether outlandish or banal.

I sit through movies but I don’t remember them because I’m thinking about baking cakes.

Obsessed with something? At best, you’re “quirky” (depending on what you’re obsessed with). Unless it’s money. Being obsessed with that is somehow virtuous.

I turned amber alerts off. The only time alerts have come through is tornado or flash flood warnings.

Terminator is part of a double feature. We need to sit through Multiplicity first.

They did (in the US). Bain Capital bled them dry and then sold off the scraps. There have been a few attempts to revive the brand but to my knowledge nothing has stuck yet.

until we come up with a solution to this “infinite growth” problem.

This is why cancer research is so important. But for now, we can try the old standbys of surgical removal and full-system poison.

Just another Tuesday in our boring dystopia.
